Now you can undergo an eye test from the comfort of your home. Titan Eye Plus has launched Vision Check, a new online facility where you need to spend just five minutes to undergo a self-administered vision test to find out whether you need spectacles or whether the power of your current one is adequate.

Though it cannot be used as a substitute for a formal eye test, nor does it prescribe power, nonetheless the test detects any vision defects.

At the launch, Ravi Kant, CEO of Titan Industries eyewear division, said that roughly one third of the population in the country need vision correction and only 25-30% have taken the necessary steps. Others are ignoring and living with the problem and many are not even aware of it. Through Vision Check facility, we are making eye tests accessible to them, he added.

Titan Industries MD Bhaskar Bhat said vision check tests in vernacular languages would be launched at a later stage.
